Everton FC Tickets

Everton were founded in 1878, 10 years before The Football League was created, and as such the Merseyside team takes its place as one the founding members of what is dubbed as the oldest football competition in the world.

Today, Frank Lampard's line-up are one of the most prominent members of the English top-tier football, the Premier League, albeit in recent seasons they've been hovering at the wrong end of the Premier League table.

Even though Everton features an array of impressive talents, the Goodison Park outfit has undergone a rather rough patch in recent years,

Lampard's squad is, however, home to a number of top-quality players and includes current England internationals Jordan Pickford & Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well as the likes of Brazilian midfield general Allan, Colombian centre-back Yerry Mina and talented winger Dwight McNeil.

Nearly 40,000 fans flock to Goodison Park for pretty much all the club's Premier League matches, making Everton one of the most popular teams in Europe.

Club information

Nickname

• “The Toffees” nickname can be traced back to an old toffee shop located in the Everton village called Mother Noblett's that used to sell – among many other sweets – the Everton Mint.

• Other popular nicknames for the Goodison Park side include “The Blues”, “The Black Watch”, “The Dogs of War” and “The School of Science”.

Current League

• Everton has been competing in the English Premier League since it's inception in 1992 and in the English top tier for a total of 118 seasons.

Stadium

Following the move from Anfield, Everton made camp at Goodison Park, where it has been playing since 1892. Goodison Park has served as the battleground for the 1966 World Cup, as well as the main venue for an FA Cup final, among many other international fixtures.

Historical Accomplishment

Everton went on to secure the first League Championship title only two seasons after The Football League's inception. In total, The Toffees have won:

• The League Championship – 9 times
• FA Cup – 5 times
• UEFA Cup Winners – One time

During the Premier League era, the Goodison Park side has managed the highest finish of fourth, achieved back in 2004-05, under long-term manager David Moyes.

Rivalries and Competition

Goodison Park is only 3 km from Liverpool, it is easy to understand why the bitterest rivalry would be carried out against The Reds. The clash between these two has been dubbed the Merseyside derby and in Premier League matches it is Liverpool who have most commonly ran out winners.
